I've mentioned before my redneck brother's tendency to shop by price alone, hence his willingness to patronize WalMart for the slightly lower price without noticing the slightly smaller package size and slightly lower quality, but this series of truck repairs can not be blamed entirely on his choice of barely competent mechanics just because they charge less than his old one.
His truck was in and out (mostly in) the shop last week for headlight problems. Specifically, he didn't have any high beams. So he took it in for what should have been a simple replacement.
Tuesday: They put in new lamps and managed to disconnect the low beams. He brought it back.
Wednesday: They reconnected the low beams and managed to disconnect one of the new high beams. He brought it back.
Thursday: They broke the grill. He left it there overnight.
Friday: They installed a new grill. They double-checked all the connections and the alignments and guaranteed everything was in working order, which it was. My brother took it to work where one of his co-workers backed into him denting the grill and breaking one of the lamps.
The bozos at his garage got a big laugh out of that because, hey, at least it wasn't their fault.
This time.
